Isaiah 38:19

Hezekiah's Illness

¹⁸ “For Sheol cannot thank You,
Death cannot praise You;
Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness.
¹⁹ “It is the living who give thanks to You, as I do today;
A father tells his sons about Your faithfulness.
²⁰ “The Lord will surely save me;
So we will play my songs on stringed instruments
All the days of our life at the house of the Lord.”
